Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 634  Crossroads

Because Wu Long needed so much Yin Qi to advance, he received everything his ladies could give him, and the amounts accumulated in a period of a bit more than two weeks were not enough to help him recuperate.

But with three possessors of Extreme Yin Physiques, even in those smaller amounts, he was able to almost fully recuperate.

They then gathered on a terrace of the inn, that was facing the beach, and the blue sea beyond.

Hong Ye was sitting with a rather complicated look, as her twin was not present in this meeting. And while she understood why, as she was told a little about Wu Long's identity while he was recuperating, and initiated into parts of their secrets, it still weighed on her emotionally.

The discussion first started with the reason for the Heavenly Punishment being triggered, as he explained everything that led to it.

And then, explained the reasons for his extensive injuries and severity of the Heavenly Tribulaton. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So... you are saying that the link with the Seven Boundless Worlds is now stable and people can travel outside and inside through it?", Shen Min asked as she processed his words.

"Yes and no. It stabilized enough to reconnect the Heavenly Daos, I would even argue it was likely the cause for such a fast reconnection, as even by my strongest estimates it should have taken at least a couple of years to reach this point", Wu Long made a smile that expressed that it was not so straightforward, continuing with "But is not ready for travel just yet, it would take a little bit of time still, but now that the Heavenly Daos have reconnected it would not be long" "That said, even if it does truly open, the travel through it would not be completely safe either, at least for some time", Ye Ling added, as the beauties around fell into thoughts.

"But now you are certain that the Heavenly Punishment is something you can continuously conquer, even in the outside world?", Hua Ziyan asked, as Yu Huan slightly clenched her fists and Bi Rui soothingly patted her back.

"Yes. Initially I didn't plan on facing its full might, but it did turn out I could handle it even without taking any drastic means. Not to mention that now I wield the Annihilation Lightning of the Mortal Heaven, and my control over Lightning Qi overall drastically improved. Plus my body has been re-tempered with Annihilation Lightning, so when the time comes for it, even facing a Heavenly Punishment of Profound Heavens should be possible without as much risk as I faced with this one, granted I have time to grow stronger.

So safely taking you all and anyone I want through the Heavenly Tribulation of the Boundless Mortal World should not be a problem now"

Wu Long nodded, confirming that assumption as looks of relief and joy could be seen around.

"That leaves us with the other blessing of Grandmist Keepsake", Bi Rui noted, as Wu Long's side could now be considered a closed matter.

Wu Long nodded, turning to look at a certain beauty.

Yu Huan was not able to advance her cultivation base properly ever since dual cultivating with Wu Long for the first time, as she was too emotionally volatile, which was a state in which cultivating to advance was quite dangerous.

And though Wu Long made sure to soothe her worries, since they stemmed from her perceived harm to him, and thus he was the subject of those worries, there was not much he could do to truly relieve them prior to this day.

Normally, alchemy also was something that one could not perform when their mind was full of thoughts and worries.

But unlike cultivation which required introspection and meditation which left one alone with their thoughts, pill refining was a task where she had to concentrate on doing something outward, and thus was able to tune out all unnecessary thoughts.

Rather, it was something that allowed her to take her mind off the matter with the Grandmist Keepsake.

"As you heard, the blessing of Grandmist Keepsake ultimately gave me a chance that I could only dream of.

The question now, is whether you wish to do the same as me and tread a new path, or isolate the blessing of the Grandmist Keepsake and continue on the path of cultivation that has been known?

Although your Core has experienced a slight deviation now, it is still within the margin of acceptable change, since you stopped right after. It will not influence your cultivation that drastically unless you continue to accept the change.

The choice is yours, Huan'er. I can only say that I will do everything to support whichever way you wish to go"

Wu Long concluded, as the eyes of everyone turned to the alchemist beauty.

What made her the most relieved was that it seemed that this ultimately was something Wu Long desperately wanted. If he said this did not hurt him in any way like he did previously, there could be some doubt about whether those words were said only to soothe her worry.

But now that he specifically chose to accept that change, and his entire demeanor was showing how excited he was about this new path, there wasn't even a shadow of a doubt that he truly welcomed what happened, relieving the massive burden from her heart.

Of course, that burden dissipating was also possible because she actually witnessed him conquer the Heavenly Punishment, and heard about the massive benefits he received from it.

Not to mention that with his explanation of why his injuries were more severe than initially thought, she was able to regain some peace of mind.

"Hmm, to be honest, while I am certain there may be benefits to be reaped in following a new path, I believe it can take away the focus from Alchemy", Yu Huan, said after a slight pause.

Now regaining her usual calm and composed state of mind, and after pondering on this topic, she quickly came to the conclusion she would rather try the approach of discovering a completely new path in Alchemy rather than cultivation, which for her was only a means to a goal.

"Instead... if it was possible to redirect that change toward something else...", she then added tracing her chin as Wu Long nodded.

"Haha, as I thought, you reached this conclusion too", he chuckled, as a few beauties also nodded with understanding.

"Uhm... of course I know what you're speaking of, but will ask for the sake of those who might not have understood. Ehem, this Senior Sister will pave the way and ask what conclusion that is", Gong Cui spoke with absolute confidence.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness", Nie Xiwang gratefully smiled as Gong Cui made a happy smile as well, while Hong Ye raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"Haha, they are talking about the possibility of the blessing of Grandmist Keepsake affecting something other than cultivation", Luo Mingyu chuckled, as did some other beauties.

"Mm, I picked to continue channeling the force of change toward cultivation because that is where my inherent strengths lean to. But it does not mean that this change could only occur to the Core. It could also be directed toward any of the Seven Roots and Five Origins instead", Wu Long nodded with a chuckle as well.

"So... would Sister Yu Huan be able to obtain an Extreme Yin Physique if she directs the blessing toward her Yin Root?", Wu Mengqi asked next as Wu Long made a wry smile.

"The nature of this change is quite potent, but it is unpredictable, it could be an Extreme Yin Qi, or a variation of Yin Root, or it could be something else entirely that has yet to exist", he explained as all eyes turned back to Yu Huan.

After all, it did cross his mind to try directing that evolutionary change toward his Yang Root. But his Yang Root is the cornerstone of his ability to dual cultivate and thus enact change to his condition, as well as support the links with members of his Dao Family.

The risks outweighed the benefits in that case, especially if compared to experimenting with cultivation.

For Yu Huan, however, this represented more opportunities than risks as she was not as dependent on Dual Cultivation specifically.

Not to mention that even if the change was not positive, it would not limit her ability to cultivate with Wu Long completely.
